In most organizations there are different staffs for endpoint security and network security.
Petr Merkulov, the chief product officer at Kaspersky Lab in Moscow, said their Endpoint Security differed from the rivals insofar as it was more fully integrated.
Ensuring that organizations not only have the right network security solutions in place but have implemented comprehensive endpoint security is important to defending against the current and emerging cyber threats.
Unfortunately, traditional endpoint security techniques are not designed to understand the logic behind these attacks the clandestine activity occurring within system processes, those subtle changes necessary to spot potentially bad behavior.

There is also the web control element to endpoint security, which protects users from malicious webpages, phishing links and sets up a time frame from leisure use of computers during non-working hours.
Integrating the PGP key management platform into the Symantec Protection Center will further enhance the management of endpoint security, data loss prevention and gateway security products, which are also integrated with Symantec Protection Center, allowing customers to more seamlessly protect information.

For example, security of an endpoint device becomes less of a risk management factor if data is protected and authorized users must authenticate their identities to gain access to it.
Working as a single security architecture, this next-generation endpoint is focused on making the end user experience excellent, and it leaves the heavy lifting of security scanning to the increasingly powerful boxes in the network or in the cloud.
With the rapid rise of the consumerized endpoint, many enterprise customers are looking at Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) as a security solution that can deal with an unmanaged, heterogeneous set of endpoint devices.

True to the Disney plot lines, as we lose control of the endpoint, a more evolved way to enforce security policy emerges.
McAfee mainly competes with Symantec, Trend Micro, LANDesk Software and Microsoft in this segment and offers products like Endpoint Protection, Data Protection and Mobile Phone Security.
This rapid shift in technology requires a major re-think of how we deploy security and what role the endpoint plays.
